Hey, so, um, mobs beating the **** out of Jews and police ignoring it or arresting the victims was one of the hallmarks of German anti-Semitism in the 1933-1939 period. No one seems to notice the parallels. They won't until there's no one left alive to save. Then it's too late.

Sharing this again because it's still great information and tips about showing up for yourself everyday and looking at blueprints in example projects to help you. Here's my before- tutorial brain, and after- studying examples.

How To Get Out is finally out. It's Trans Rescue's distilled knowledge and advice for trans people and others wishing to escape the UK or USA. This is my first book, and has consumed a lot of my time since last November. I hope people find it of use. Get it here: transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

Cover of the Trans Rescue guide How To Get Out: Practical Information to Help You Survive by Jenny List and Anne Ogborn. The cover features bold typography, flames, and an illustration of Donald Trump holding a U.S. flag.

MMA fighter Sean Strickland posted a video to Instagram of him beating up Dylan Mulvaney. Once again, transphobia is just a socially acceptable way to engage in open misogyny and violence.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

sh.reddit.com/r/IndieGamin... So here is the thing. They didn't really do marketing. They created social media accounts, build a website for the game, and did a small ad spend. Marketing is so much more than this. They sent 500 PR emails with 4 responses. Because its just spam with no relationship.

We shipped our indie game on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and Quest… and almost nobody noticed. Looking for honest advice.

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm a Senior Environment Artist at Rebellion and as I had some new pieces release recently (our game SER), I thought I'll share a post, even though I'm not looking for any work right now. I hope you like what you see! #gameart #UE5 #gamedev

A screenshot from the game Sniper Elite: Resistance. It showcases a long, near the water camera angle. It looks up to a dam that has been bombed and broken.
Reconstruction and renovation work on top has started.

A screenshot from the game Sniper Elite: Resistance. It showcases a fortress with lots of green, lush, vegetation around it. There is a stone bridge that leads to the castle. It's broken and full of rubble.

UE5 screenshot showcasing a floating rock orb. It has blue shards attached to it. It floats in the middle of a ruined interior. Daylight spills from the outside. There is blue glow and a spiral of shards. Roots have overtaken the interior and from those, there are blue flowers blossoming.

A screenshot from an UE4 scene. It showcases a Japanese shrine. There are lots of bamboo lights on the right. They give lots of orange and warm shades to the picture. In the distance, there is a forest that has been obstructed by fog and by the wooden structures closer to the camera. There are lots of animal statues around the shrine. Rabits, frogs and cranes.

Seeing a talk by Fanny Weidner “Building Tech Art Skills without a Map”, and it has this slide. It is probably the most accurate and short description I have seen of what tech artist skills are required nowadays. It’s ridiculously varied, and studios expect you to solve anything.

YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING. YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT ANYTHING.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
